Macedon Ranges Shire Council Director Assets and Operations Shane Walden will depart the organisation in the coming weeks to take up the role of Chief Executive Officer at Golden Plains Shire Council.
Chief Executive Officer Bernie O'Sullivan has congratulated Shane on his achievements during his five years at Macedon Ranges Shire Council, leading a significant team of staff across complex areas of operational services and project delivery.
"Shane has left an indelible mark on our organisation and his team through his leadership, skill and approach," he said.
"Shane has been a valued member of our Executive Leadership and Senior Leadership teams and a great support and colleague to me and many across the organisation, and regionally across our neighbouring shires. Councillors have also greatly appreciated Shane's knowledge, diligence and collegiality.
"His strong list of achievements was highlighted by the recent delivery of Stage 1 of the Macedon Ranges Sports Precinct in New Gisborne, which just opened to acclaim and is the biggest single ($30M) capital project delivered by Council.
"We are all incredibly proud of Shane and congratulate him on his appointment and wish him and his family every success in the future. Thank you, Shane."
Council will shortly commence a recruitment process for the Director Assets and Operations role.
